Did You Always Exist?


DYAE is a tourney where you won't see the OP thing that is Mega Gardevoir, or the incredibly annoying Sableye; you will, however, adorable Whimsicotts and manly Primeapes. Why would you use those guys, you say? Well, see below to find out!​

Signups

In order to sign up, you have to post here saying that you want to participate. Then, you PM me a couple things. What things? Well...
  • Your team.
For this tournament, you'll be using 5 rental Pokémon. However, you can't choose just any Pokémon. Our objective is making sure that those Pokémon that rarely see the daylight receive the love that they deserve. How? Well, by having some restrictions, of course:

- Your Pokémon can only be part of one of the less owned species. We are kind of trying to emulate competitive's NU, so only those owned by 3 or less players can be choosen (you can check this here). Obvious exceptions are Legendaries, and some others were banned because they were found overwhelmingly good compared to the other Pokémon. The Pokémon that were banned are:
- Slaking.
- Hariyama.
- Bewear.
- Frogadier.
- Pajantom.
- All legendaries and Ultra Beasts.
- All unreleased Pokémon.
- All Pokémon exclusively obtainable through RPs.


- After you choose your 5 Pokémon, you'll make a profile for each one of them. They'll have full EC, AC (with an unlocked HA if you want), as well as 50 moves each.

  • Your items.
- You are given 7 items of your choice for use in the tournament only, no repeats allowed (item clause).


Battle Rules

The tournament follows a double elimination format. At the start of each round, the brackets will be randomized and refs will be assigned. From there, you must PM the referee the Pokémon from your team that you'll be using in that battle. You have three days to do this. Once the referee gets both teams, they will post the battle. Depending on the amount of people that join, we'll have one or more rounds of single-elimination that will act as some sort of preliminaries.

These battles will have the following rules:

- 3v3 Singles.
- 3 Day DQ Time. Each player has two DQ warnings a match. Go over DQ thrice, you will be DQed. Unless, of course, you post a LoA, in which case you'll have more time. Do have in mind that I want these two round to be fast, so we WILL give a DQ warning if you go over DQ and we WILL DQ you if you go over DQ thrice. If your battle has has not ended in a month, DQ time will be reduced to 2 days. If it has not finished in 1 and a half month, the hosts will decide who wins based on who played better.
- Infinite Recoveries/Chills per Pokémon.
- Three Substitutions per player excluding KO Substitutions.
- 0 Mega Evolutions
- 1 Z-Move
- Switch = OK
- Abilities = ALL
- Items = ON
- Arena: ASB Tournament Arena
- MID-BATTLE EVOLUTION IS FORBIDDEN

Here to clear something up: you have to make a fresh pokemon profile and then add moves until you reach 50. What I mean with this is, you have to have all pre 26 moves, and a minimum of 5 Eggs and TMs (or tutors when applicable).

EDIT: Oh, and deadline for submissions is 5 days after we are done with signups. If everyone sends in and we claim before then, then we'll start sooner.
 
Oh snap I better make a team some time this week then

EDIT: speaking of, if anyone has a handy little list they compiled of the the FE/viable/available mons that would be something worth sharing
